Sudanese

Sudanese people are a cultural group that inhabit Sudan in eastern Africa. 70% of Sudanese people identify as "Arabs", speaking Arabic and being of mixed Arab and African descent; they are really Afro-Arabs, with only the Rashaida tribe being of pure Arab descent. By 2016, there were around 30,000,000 people in Sudan, with 21,000,000 being Afro-Arabs and the remaining 9,000,000 being sub-Saharan Africans of pure black descent. 97% of Sudanese people are Muslim, 1.5% animist, and 1.5% Christian, and they abide by sharia law, which means that women must cover themselves, men must accompany women if women wish to head out in public, and smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming pork are banned.
